This Tab represents what Tom Smith plays live and acoustically.


Artist: Editors
Song:The Weight Of The World (Track 3)
Album: An End Has A Start (2007)


NO CAPO. STANDARD TUNING.

Note: If you rather play with chords instead of finger-picking you should move the capo
to the 2nd fret, just like Tom did in Rock Werchter 2012.

|VERSEs 1 and 2|


S2       S5                 S7
  Keep a light on those you love
S2          S5                S7
  They will be there when you die
S2     S5                 S7
  Baby there's no need to fear
S2     S5                 S7
  Baby there's no need to cry

|CHORUS|

During the chorus, Tom plucks the G and B string, instead of plucking G alone. When 
playing with chords,
there is no change.

g-6--7--4--6-|

S5                         S7
Every little piece in your life
     S3        S5
Will add up to one
                           S7
Every little piece in your life
        S3                S5
Will it mean something to someone?

NOTE: In recent live performances Tom alternates the original chorus finger-picking
structure, like this:
      Both ways are correct.


e------------------------------------|
b---5--5-5--7--7-7--8--8-8--5--5-5---|
g---6--6-6--7--7-7--7--7-7--6--6-6---|
